Matthew 11:28 — Come To Jesus And Find Rest Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Adelaide • Dunedin • Singapore • Phoenix • Buenos Aires REST • HEALING • RENEWAL Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I’m Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let’s open God’s Word together, and let’s pray. As the day begins to slow, many of us are still carrying conversations, responsibilities and concerns that have stayed with us from morning until now. If you’re feeling emotionally tired, physically weary or simply longing for a place of peace, Jesus offers an invitation that is as true today as when He first spoke these words. Matthew 11:28 (NIV) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” These words are not only an invitation; they are a promise. Jesus never asks us to carry life’s weight alone. He welcomes us just as we are, with every unanswered question, every disappointment and every quiet burden that no one else can see. In His presence we discover strength for today and hope for tomorrow. Father, thank You for walking beside us throughout this day. Thank You for every moment of grace, every unseen act of kindness and every reminder that Your faithfulness never fails. Lord Jesus, we place today’s burdens into Your loving hands. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who are grieving, renewed strength to those who feel exhausted and fresh hope to everyone who wonders how tomorrow will unfold. Teach us to rest in Your promises and to trust Your perfect care. Holy Spirit, renew our hearts this evening, quiet every anxious thought and help us finish this day with gratitude, peace and confidence in Christ. Across the world, from Adelaide to Dunedin, from Singapore to Phoenix and Buenos Aires, may every listener lay down today’s burdens and discover the gentle rest that only Jesus can give. Jesús, gracias porque en Ti encuentro descanso. Jesus, obrigado porque em Ti encontro descanso. Jesus, salamat dahil sa Iyo ako nakasusumpong ng kapahingahan. Amen.

Welcome to Daily Prayer. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper coming to you live from our studios in London, England. Let's open God's word together and let's pray together. God bless you wherever you are, world.

Reading Matthew And Naming Fatigue

SPEAKER_00

together. Let's jump straight through to the great book of Matthew 11, 28. This is the title of the prayer. Come to Jesus and find rest. Lord, I want to pause. Lord, our muscles are aching. Our voice is tired. Our mind is very cloudy. Spirit of the living God, our thought pattern, dear God, is not right. Holy Spirit, we need to find rest because, Lord, we're running on fatigue. Lord, we're running on fatigue. Lord, there is so much fatigue in our bodies. Lord, we feel drained and weary. Lord, we are almost at the end of the adrenaline rush. Lord, we are almost at the end, dear God, of the natural walk. Father, we have come to a place and we have hit that plateau. Lord, we are exhausted, we are weary, and we are tired. Spirit of the living God, I pray that we will find rest in Jesus

A Global Prayer For The Weary

SPEAKER_00

Christ. Wherever we are across this world, Father, I thank you that we are here live in this London, England studio, that the Spirit of the Lord is moving right around the world right now, all the way to Adelaide, all the way to Singapore, Phoenix, Bronceres, all the way to New Zealand. Father, we thank you that the love of God is raining down over each and every one of us. Lord, we've had a long day at work. Lord, the children there, God, have been really tiring today. Lord, life has just been exhausted. Lord, relationships are wearing us out. Father, Lord, workplace issues are just too much. Lord, the wokeness in the world, Spirit of the Living God, we're tired of social media.

Choosing Rest Over Burdens

SPEAKER_00

Lord, there are three eras of our lives where we're calling on you right now. Lord, give us rest, give us healing, and renew that strength in Jesus' name. So Lord, we pray through Matthew 11, 28. Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Lord, we believe that these words are an invitation. We believe that these words are not just an invitation, Jesus, but they are a promise. And Lord, we need this promise to come to fulfillment because Lord, we're carrying baggage, we're carrying responsibilities, we're carrying concerns. Lord, there are conversations in our head right now. Lord, we are physically weary and we are spiritually drawn at the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we got battle fatigue. Lord, we are climbing the rock face of life, and Lord, life is tough, and we need you in our hearts, our minds, our bodies, and our souls. But Lord, you're calling us, dear God, for an open invitation. Lord, wherever we are around the world, come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Lord, help us to pause, to gather our thoughts and to rest. Lord, we're not gonna live our lives by disappointments. We're not gonna live our lives by the burdens that was. Lord, we're not gonna live our lives by what the world is saying. Lord, we're gonna rise on wings as of eagles. Father, this emotional tiredness is going, the shackles are gone, the fear is gone, and as we stretch out from the four corners of this world, we lock together and we say, Father, thank you that you walk beside us at this hour. Lord, I thank you that there are moments of grace, moments of your goodness. Lord, that we find ourselves just resting. Lord, let our hearts smile tonight, but Lord, through the exhaustion, we

Healing Strength And A Midnight Invite

SPEAKER_00

thank you that there is fresh hope. And Lord, there is wisdom, there is power, and there is anointing over our lives. I pray right now that we will rise today. We will rise at this hour, and whatever the time zone is, help us to pause, to be still, to gather our breath and say, Jesus, I thank you that your word is lifting me. I thank you that these prayers together are carrying me. And right now, Lord, whatever has gone on in my life today, I am spiritually well, I am healed in the name of Jesus Christ. Because, Lord, you are giving us an open invitation. Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Father, we thank you that the promises of God are over our lives. Lord, there is healing. We are healed mentally, healthy God wise. We are healed physically, our bodies are well. In the name of Jesus Christ, strengthen us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. Strengthen our voice, strengthen our body, strengthen our bones, spirit of the living God, clear our minds out. But Lord, we thank you. One thing is for sure nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, and fear will never win. Have a beautiful evening. Don't ever give up. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life wherever you are, from the battlefield to the boardroom. Hold on to the word of God. Will you join me later tonight for the midnight hour prayer? God bless.
